Hi,

Sry, we do not have the capability of face-to-face tutoring on this site

5( x-2)-2(x-5)=9  	

5x -10 -2x + 10=9	     Distributive Property ('Distributing' the 5 and -2)

5x-2x-10+10=9 	        Cummutative Property ( 'Moving' Terms around )

   3x = 9

    x = 3

Migt recommend the following as a reference with examples:
